The bonds that are projecting out of the plane are $W$ and $Z$.

Here, normal lines $(-)$ always shows the groups, lying in the plane of the paper. Solid-wedge shows the bond projects out of the plane of paper and towards the observer. Dashed-wedge $(|||| \mid)$ also, shows the bond projecting out of the plane of paper but it is away from the observer.
